Post-lockdown guidelines | Work from home may stay for government staff

In a post-lockdown scenario, the Centre will continue with staggered and variable work hours and the Personnel Ministry has floated a draft consultation paper to adopt the best work from home practices for Central government employees.

Draft guidelines

The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) may provide an option for work from home to the eligible officers/staff for 15 days in a year as a matter of policy.
However, “classified papers/files” cannot be processed while working from home.
Therefore, classified files shall not be processed in the e-office during work from home.
The National Informatics Centre may evaluate the existing security protocol for remote access of classified file/ information in consultation with the Home Ministry and propose suitable guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for handling classified information in the e-office.
Classified files shall be processed on standalone computers only as specified in the Central Secretariat Manual of Office Procedure (CSMOP).
Employees will be provided with laptops or desktops.
Employees will be reimbursed for the internet charges while working from home.
